Frequently Asked Questions

Can I download an email list of all signed-up participants?

This is useful for lead generation.

How do I enable participant signup for my leaderboard?

What can participants do after registering?

Registered participants can update their own name, score, and profile image. They cannot modify other participants' information or the leaderboard settings.
